In a Facebook post Saturday evening, shop owners indicated they would be closing permanently in order to focus on owner Jason Bailey's health.

"With being a business owner comes a lot of things and unfortunately one of them is stress. After thinking it through we have decided that the time has come in which we put the focus back into his wellbeing," the post said.

Bailey and wife Jodie moved to Middle Tennessee from Michigan in 2016. A trained chef, Jason was feeling the pull of returning to culinary work. So they opened Cali's in September 2017.

"We truly love and appreciate all of your support! It certainly has been a wonderful ride, but sometimes good things must come to an end," the post said, while thanking current and future employees and reminding the community to support local businesses.

Cali's Coffee and Creamery garnered a first-place win as Favorite Place for Ice Cream and was a finalist in four other categories in the 2018 Ruthies Awards.

"Everybody that walks through the door, we treat them like we want to be treated. We go out and talk to people and get to know them," Jason Bailey told The Daily News Journal in October.

The restaurant is located at 901 Rock Springs Road at the Old Nashville Highway intersection. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to the Facebook page.
